ReplyDeleteThose are nice photos and we like your blog but if you are publishing photographs taken in the Textile Museum it would be nice to say where those are taken or even link the museums websites to them, www.textile.is or on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Heimilisi%C3%B0na%C3%B0arsafni%C3%B0-%C3%81-Bl%C3%B6ndu%C3%B3si/128024267277362
